General Discussion / Re: Playing tied notes together
In music theory, I drew my ties coming straight out of the note, like you explained. My theory teacher told me that ties don't touch the note. Cleric, the way to tell the difference, is that ties are with note the same pitch while slurs have different pitches.

Tips & Tricks / Re: Inserting Groupings such as 5, 7, 9
That's a pretty cool attachment.
I like the way you incorporated the overtone series into it (right down to the out-of-tune seventh partial).
FWIW, the attached file was discussed on the NWC newsgroup a few years ago.

General Discussion / Re: How to crescendo on one note
Few things in life are like that though. I see I have a lot to study and experiment with to be able do this. At this point I don't know if I am just a few "all ya' gotta do" steps from picking this up or if I need to become a midi master.
If anyone would like to start a user tip on "First steps in creating a performance ready NWC file", please be my guest.

Tips & Tricks / Re: Inserting Groupings such as 5, 7, 9
I've been inserting such groupings by writing down the grouping and changing the tempo in that place to allow the grouping to fit. Any other notes contemporaneous with the grouping have to be lengthened so that their tempo doesn't change. But since I'm new at this, I don't know how to do all this on a hidden staff and show the correct printed notes on the display staff. Any suggestions on how best to do that?
For pentuplets, every "ordinary" note being played concurrently with the pentuplets needs to be lengthened by 1/4. On the hidden/played staff, tie each note to one with a quarter of the original length (or add two flags). E.g., a dotted eighth would be tied to a dotted 32nd and a 16th would be tied to a 64th. On the displayed/muted staff, no ties would be needed, but each note would be followed by a [shadow=red,left]hidden rest[/shadow] with the same duration as the new notes following the ties in the played staff.

Tips & Tricks / Re: Keeping track of where you are
In case anyone's interested, I have a very low-tech way to see where I am when enteringparts for the purpose of practice.
Following an earlier suggestion (Sorry - I forget by whom), I tend to enter the lyrics for the part I'm entering before the notes. In order to go back and edit the inevitable typos, I make sure to hit ENTER before typing in the text for a new system. Since I tend to be entering baroque of classical music, the lyrics do tend to get repetitive. This makes it still hard to see where I am, so each time I get to the words on a new page, I prefix the first word with the new page number. It ends up looking like this:
si-cut e-rat in prin-ci-pi-o
11in prin-ci-pi-o etc.
I do something similar except I keep both the numbered text and un-numbered text in the lyric area. When all mistakes are taken out, I copy everything to the clipboard where a script, envoked with a shortcut key, strips off all digits. This is pasted in front of the numbered text. If I can use (most of) the text in another part, I copy the numbered text only.

If you need to transpose by two octaves you will need both methods.

General Discussion / Re: Trasposition
When you are on the staff to be tranposed enter Alt/T then T again (or from the Tools menu select Transpose). Select the number of semitones to be transposed up or down. If you are actually changing the key, leave the "Update staff playback transposition" unchecked.
Playback transposition is only used for instruments which don't play at concert pitch. If you wrote for a Bb clarinet in concert pitch, you would transpose it up two semitones but leave the box checked.

General Discussion / Re: Measure Number cannot shown
When printing parts it is sometimes helpful to create a "tempo" staff which will be layered with the part currently being printed. It would contain hidden bar lines and rests, but all tempos, tempo variences, rehearsal letters, and frequently referred to measure numbers would be on this staff. As Robert said, the Boxmarks font is quite useful for this. See also https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=2316.

BTW, you can make your trills look better than just trl with "tr~~~~~~~~". Better yet, use the Boxmarks or Boxmark2 fonts from here.
